Hunt benches or flats more than steep hill sides.

My #1 TIP FOR SHED HUNTING.

Once you find some sheds, shut your mouth and don't post pics.  So to not motivate others to go or stumble into your favorite stomping grounds to get sheds you would ordinarily pick up.

Go outside where deer winter.  Haven't found a shed yet in the reflection of this monitor.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I was serious about the dog. You can teach the family lab to find horns just by practicing around your yard and going to the nearest timbered area with a few sheds that you already have. ;)

we started our border collie pup at a young age!  she has managed to find every shed or skull around the farm and pile them into the front yard.  The older dog will bring us a shed in the woods every so often.  Hopefully this pup will turn out.  I have been bad about getting her out!  :(
The hound is too darn dumb to figure out what we're after...unless the shed can run, she doesn't want it.  :P

Just make sure you get a good price and that its well build, I prefer 2X6 contruction. Ziggies has pretty good deals. Stay away from Lowes and Home Depot, their sheds are crap.  :twocents:   You could just buy the lumber yourself and build one, save a few bucks.

I think it's just the difference in their instincts. Generations of retrieving dead birds, makes a bird dog perfect for shed hunting. As soon as they figure out what you want them to look for you are in business.... my daughter threw horns and hid them for her lab, now she has a lab that drags them all in, just like your collie.

Most hounds were bred to trail scent, bay game, and bark up a tree.... they could care less about something as dead and lifeless as an antler. :twocents:

I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback/Chocolate Lab mix that was just starting to get into the shed thing when we had to put him down.  His favorite toy was an old chunk of wntler that I would hide in the brush and he would find.
